Redknapp to Leicester City rumour AGAIN!

[Mark_w]

You are so correct you should never over react to three losses or wins on the trot. Although you do seem to have posted something a little bit different than that before.

How gracious of you, perhaps you will also give credit for the other "measurable improvements" we currently seem to have.

Its a topic that seriously divides our support. The Pearson supporters are vociferous in shouting down anyone who dare mention anything against him, labelling them `Haters`. I hope I remain pragmatic about it, and just like 3 defeats should not be judged, neither should 3 wins in a row.

This season we have shown real promise, even in the away defeats our footbal has been good. I am quite surprised that Pearson has gone for a more attacking style rather than what he did at Hull City.

My concerns over his ability to manage us, is purely based on the following.

* Never been promoted from the Championship

* Very slow progress at LCFC, its taken a year to get to where we are now.

* Did nothing at Hull City

* History of falling out with any sort of high profile player - Bullard, Gradel, Beckford, Danns, Mills, St Ledger etc. Its his way or no way.

* Appalling attitude when interviewed

* rumours of unhapiness in the camp

* Falling attendances due to no improvement in the team.

For keeping him:

* Consistency

* the team is showing signs of improvement

* Change is rarely good in football

However, Football is not just a results business. Unless anyone on here is truly in the know, then none of us know about how he is to work for, and other stuff that goes on. I say this because I used to work for a VERY successful company, turning over millions of pounds profit, however the boss was a fruitcake, and pure evil. The staff turnover was massive, he was arrogant enough to think that good people will always be available, he didnt care about them, the morale was appalling. Yet from the outside the company was a shining light, he looked like a star. Just saying, we dont know it all.

Also remembering the furour when Mike Ashley made a great Business decision and binned the popular Hughton. What a great decision! He knew his people. Look at Blackburn, Steve Kean was hated by all, and eventually resigned when his team were at the top of the league with a new 8 million hitman just signed!

We need to trust the Thai`s, if they think that sticking with Pearson is right, and he continues to deliver, and he is managing morale correctly, then he gets my backing. Also, if they bin him for Redknapp, then I will support that decision.

All I want is for Leicester City FC to win, be promoted and be successful. It`s great that we can all give an opinion on here, but let`s cut out the blue on blue fighting, and if someone has an alternative opinion to you lets not label them!

All that really matters today is :

middlesbrough 1 - 2 LCFC

:-)

I`ve been going down 40 years, It`s the Leicester way mate, always has been.

I'll deal with the rest later.

Oh how big and smug of you.

All hail king Babs, the man who is never wrong, and knows it all.

Where's the evidence fo how Pearson would do in the Premiership? He's done pretty well as a player and as a manager so far and, more than that, he's shown he can adapt his thinking if the change in our strategy this season is anything to go by.

Not all big money players have big or out of control egos and managers like Moyes seem to cope on even modest resources. Pulis is another at Stoke - what a job he's done for season upon season!

No, while i think Pearson should always be looking to improve on what he does and while i do believe he's been too cautious in the past he strikes me as being first of all a survivor and secondly a man who can and will move the goalposts if it's for the better.

Look at his commitment to sports science if you want an example.

Pearson seems to believe that a team not only requires good players but also people who work hard for one another and make a contribution when things are going wrong, either for the team or for themselves and that's one of the big pluses we seem to have this season... a whole team of people with commitment.

Maybe Pearson can handle big money players when they're all being paid what they're worth. Maybe he just doesn't believe in paying big money for players who are not giving as much to the cause as the lesser paid players and who therefore become the focus for disharmony.

It's not fun when you're drawing half the wages of someone else and doing all the donkey work while they laze about blaming Konchesky for a less-than-perfect pass. I'll never forget exactly that happening with Beckord last season and thinking "you'll not last here, son".

pulis budget??? michealowen 100k a week

[Guest Col city fan]

Can't we just put this 'can't handle big players' nonsense finally to bed?

It's just sooooo fookin boring.

When we has Sousa and Sven at the club, many were suggesting that Richie was the cause of their demise. He was usurping both managers by shit stirring, with his 'big personality' or so many said...

Well guess what, Pearson has never had a problem with Wellens, nor Konchesky, nor Nugent nor a multitude of other players.

He just picks and plays what he thinks is his best team and doesn't play the rest.

Tough fookin shite!

That's football..

What's smug about that?

A concise response to another poster who either can't remember what he has previously written or chooses to forget what he has written in the past. Just because Babs has exposed the guy as something of a hypocrite does not make him smug.

[Corky]

I like how Pearson can't handle players with egos or big names. You think Schmeichel, Konchesky, Nugent, Solano don't have egos? He hasn't fallen out with them.

Yes, he doesn't get on with everyone, same with Redknapp, who doesn't get on with Nugent. But that won't be brought up if he comes here, because it doesn't fit in with "Harry treats everyone well/ gives them a chance" notion.

[jamesmilner]

Take his twitch somewhere else.

Tax dodging , money laundering corrupt twat.

Least Pearson has ethics.

pearsons has ethics ? no ethics with players whatsoever ,he'll walk over any player , ask gradel and bamba and .............. pearsons staying at the mo , imo , 3 wins sees to that not his ethics !

[Rusko187]

You don't get rid of a manager when you are winning, unless his nickname is Mad dog

Isn't this what Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield did last season?

They write a story before we win 3 games on the bounce, decide to run with it and the moaners believe it. Shocking reporting.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Don't know if anyone's already said this but might be time for Top and co. to come out and give Pearson a little bit of credit for what he's done so far...

"We just wanted to say we're pleased with the start Nigel has had and that we seem on course for a strong season. As long as he continues to put us in with a chance of achieveing our long-term objectives he has the full backing of the owners regardless of any speculation otherwise"

Or something along those lines...

That sounds like a vote of confidence though.

[LJS]

The problem with them doing something like that is that it leads to reports of Pearson having received "the dreaded vote of confidence". The best thing they can do is keep quiet and let Pearson get on with it.

I'de prefer a statement along the lines of Harry Redknapp! Who the fook is he?

[Guest Basildon Fox]

If anybody wants rid of their season ticket I doubt that you will get a refund. I'll give you £20 for it though.

I guess I would have to live with watching a team managed by someone who managed to get a team into the top 4 of the Prem last season...

[muzzy1981]

Shut this thread down!

[foxaholic]

A good post in the main but I would challenge your concerns of NP's ability to manage us as follows:-

* Never been promoted from the Championship

NP has only had two genuine opportunities to obtain promotion from the Championship, one we all know about and his first season at Hull where he managed a difficult situation well IMO and just finished 2 points behind us.

* Very slow progress at LCFC, its taken a year to get to where we are now.

It has taken him a year to sort out the s**t that was left post Sousa/Sven era's

* Did nothing at Hull City

Really?

* History of falling out with any sort of high profile player - Bullard, Gradel, Beckford, Danns, Mills, St Ledger etc. Its his way or no way.

if you had met Jimmy Bullard you would not have put his name into your list, I do not see any issue with St Ledger and as for Beckford and Mills your point is what exactly?

* Appalling attitude when interviewed

Not a reason for concerning yourself over his ability to manage - describe Sir Alex's attitude to the BBC until recently, didn't make him a bad manager did it?

* rumours of unhapiness in the camp

Don't believe all you hear

* Falling attendances due to no improvement in the team.

Falling attendances due to the fact that the majority of the country is skint, most clubs are having to deal with falling attendances. Listen to Talk Sport and you will hear Manchester United and Arsenal advertising some of their matches where they know attendance levels will be down. Attendance levels are a global issue and not just LCFC's.

Try getting a ticket for the Arsenal my daughter lives near there . We averaged 30000 in Micky Adams promotion year a 8000 drop when virtually in the same position is staggering .

I agree but it shouldn't of been started in the first place.
